the time to learn how to use it. I thought you had to get approved.
I understand that you can use Newsline online. Could you please tell us
how to use it? </FONT></DIV>

have two major problems with it. With my hearing loss I use context a lot to
figure out what is being said, and article titles/headlines have no context.
My other problem is the speech speed -- it's too fast for me, and from what I
can tell, it's really only adjustable in an article and in other limited
situations. <BR><BR>As a result, I use radio and TV news, which I have been
able to understand since I got my two Cochlear Implants.<BR><BR>Janet
